To do before Friday evening

[tree_and_leaf]

*Finish organising word nets for section of thesis
- on a related note, work out why, exactly, wordle isn't working for my computer, and fix it (I do actually have a semi-legitimate academic use for this, it's not just playing!)
*Trail out to teacher training college, extract interesting sounding article from volume of feminist theology (and how much do I hate the local library policy of not duplicating holdings across institutions? It's one thing not buying several copies of volumes for department libraries down the hall from each other, but when you need to travel half an hour by tram to use the library of a university you're not even a member of...)
* Re-wax Grönland jacket and hat
* Give brief presentation on Barlaam and Josephaat manuscript; explain how the Buddha ended up becoming a Christian saint.
* Wash Scout uniform and sleeping bag inner
* Book flight home
* Work out what I did with those blank CDs, and burn some files
* Cancel Spiegel (which has had some headdeskily daft articles recently, anyway, including the latest Batshit Insane Theory that Goethe was having an affair with Anna Amalia rather than Charlotte von Stein†, cancel internet contract
* Sharpen knife
* Sort out tent issue, given that I now can't borrow the one I was going to
* Attempt to prevent assassination of Charidisch prince (OK, this is an RPG goal rather than a real one)

... I have the strong feeling I've forgotten something


† Because C von S wasn't intellekshul enough, apparently. I would counter (a) Goethe seems to have had a habit of wanting people to show off to (b) C v S may not have been as intellectual as Anna Amalia, but the evidence of his wife suggests that Goethe didn't primarily go for academic competence in a woman (c) assuming he'd dumped the Dowager Duchess to run off to Rome, how likely is it that he'd have been allowed back to Weimar on rather improved terms?

I think the works at Bank-Monument have finished, but as nineveh_uk says, Tower Gateway on the DLR is closed for rebuilding (two platforms and a single track being now thought a better use of the limited space than the current single platform and two tracks).

Aargh!

All part of the DLR three car train project (http://londonconnections.blogspot.com/2008/03/dlr-three-car-project.html). I think the idea is that trains will unload and load quickly, then head east to reach the double tracks just before the next train approaches the station.
